Quash, also listening instently to Balthasar, suggests that putting theology into the dramatic mode allows one to more effectively grasp that as theologians “we do not ‘procede’ our material”, “we are bound to take up the interpretive task from a position always already ‘in the middle’ of life. We are always already players in the movement of this drama” (26-7; something epic conceptions fail to achieve). It is a good piece of writing even if you don’t find all his arguments convincing.
